Abstract:	Vulnerability in children implies exposure to situations hindering their development like deprivation, exploitation, abuse, neglect, violence, and disease. Towards alleviating vulnerability, numerous initiatives have endeavored to enhance service delivery to Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC). Compassion International is one such initiative uplifting the lives of vulnerable children through creating Child Development Center (CDC). This study sought to establish the role community-based programs play in empowering OVC in Kenya with Mathare CDC in Nairobi County as a case study. Objectives guiding this study were to establish the socio-economic needs of OVC, analyze criteria used in identifying OVC, analyze challenges facing programs, and assess the role of CDC in empowering OVC. The study adopted a descriptive survey design involving a sample of 120 alumni and 10 staff from Mathare CDC. Purposive sampling was used to select alumni, while census was used to select key informants. Questionnaires and an interview guide were administered, and data analysed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 25. The study found that Mathare CDC adopts a holistic development approach. Vulnerable children in the community were identified through CDC workers, referrals, or parents/guardians. A major challenge facing the CDC is limited financial resources. Nonetheless, the CDC has positively impacted the alumni through education, better healthcare, nutrition, positive behaviour change, spiritual growth, life skills, and talent development. The study recommends enhancing fundraising strategies to increase resource base and considering self-sustainable options to ease overdependence on donors. Support from beneficiaries, parents, and the larger community is paramount in the success of community-based initiatives.

The objectives of the study were to; assess the strategies used in enhancing sustainability of projects in Kenya National Highway Authority, determine indicators of sustainability of projects in Kenya National Highway Authority, assess the effect of strategies on sustainability of projects in Kenya National Highway Authority, and establish the challenges faced by Kenya National Highway Authority in sustainability of projects. The descriptive study design was used in this study because it helped the researcher to collect large quantities of data from a large population in a cost-effective and reliable manner using questionnaires. Analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.0. The study established that research and development is one of the most effective strategies for sustainability of projects. Although adequacy of funding in KeNHA to facilitate sustainability of projects was another strategy, a small number of respondents agreed with the strategy. The study concluded that R&D team in KeNHA was considered as a strategy for sustainability of projects.
